G'day and welcome to the forums.
Sounds like serious problems. If it is reasonably modern, off to Apple Store.

Welcome to our forums.
We need a lot more information than what you supplied. Which MacBook Pro do you have (year and model) and what version of OS X is it running? And what have you done to trouble shoot the problem besides looking at the YouTube video? (Please do not include YouTube video links especially with your first post.) Also, in the YouTube video that you included, the fix for the problem was shown. Since it requires soldering, it may not be a good solution if you're not technically able as the person in the video was.

Sorry about that. It is a macbook pro 2010. As per apple store they cant help because of the year. They opened it up and said everything inside looks good. After that i tried Pram reset, smc reset to no avail. I also tried disconnecting the battery, Plugging in the charger, pressing the power button and after that plugging battery back in.
Os is snow leopard. Computer was working perfectly and all of a sudden this happens.

OK, thanks for the additional information. It does sound like a logic board problem perhaps with the power supply. That would require a new logic board which would be more expensive than what your MacBook Pro is worth. Might be time to think about getting a newer MacBook Pro. Check eBay or Craig's list but of course be very careful about buying a used computer. Apple sells refurbished MacBook Pros on their on line site which are like new and come with a one year warranty. You can generally save 15% buying that way.

You have exceeded the expected lifespan of any portable computer so you have done well. Time to get another one.
